I don't, for one. You earn your respect through your merits and your actions, not by having some letters in front of your name and a piece of paper.

Oh, and lying in order to facilitate socialization with girls? Not cool.

Do whatever you want to, or where you feel is best for you. If making money is what you want to do, then great. If teaching or something that usually doesn't lead to a high paycheck is your passion, go for it. Don't let people tell you things about what is best for you personally as if it is law.

By the way, she said she's on her way to "happiness", not "getting filthy rich and employed two days out of school" - and to a lot of people, happiness isn't all about money. If she's happy studying philosophy and likes being at university, then good for her and you have no basis for laughing.

Stop. Propagating. Rape. Culture.

I don't give two shits about whether or not those girls are the shallowest, least intelligent, bitchiest people on the planet. That is not "deserving" to be "taken".

Obviously at this point there's no use in arguing with you; if all the posts on the rapist thread didn't change your mind, this won't either. But everyone can tell that you're on a slippery slope here, with the casual attitude toward women (they are just objects to be "taken"?) coupled with the fact that you seem oddly proud of your views. Not to mention you seem to like to play loose with morality and ethics (plagiarism is great if you don't get caught! lie for sex! women at night are just chickens to be plucked!)

Erm. How was my post spreading hate on the faculty? If anything I find it quote amusing and how fitting the reply was coming from someone in that faculty. Its like an obese person loving to eat a cake after a meal. Just saying that "oh, its expected" doesn't mean you are making fun of the person. Why you gotta quiver over the little details, Quiver.

She said she is on the road to her own happiness. You quoted her program and year and laughed. Believe it or not, man, but spreading stereotypes based on faculty is generally derogatory. Saying that "oh, it's expected" of a black person to love chicken is racist, and saying something similar regarding faculty is no better.

Oh yeah, I like how you responded to one throwaway line of my post and not the overarching point of it. Who's the one dealing with the small details and not the big picture?

Its not the only high paying job of course. But it is the easiest for people to recognize so I use it to make my point.

Focus on money. Find a job that you can actually do to make the most money (not everyone can be a doctor). Happiness and all that fun stuff will fall in place once you do.

You are getting off topic with the discussion with this whole racist and faculty thing. Its okay if you have the wrong interpretation and assumption of my replies but lets not derail the thread. Private message of if you want to discuss this further. For now, lets focus on the thread at hand.

Please tell that to the unemployed Canadian trained orthopods/plastics/ENTs who can't find Canadian positions and are stuck doing multiple fellowships. Also to the poor GI/cardio/nephro fellows :(

For those people that don't know. OF course canadian MD graduates all FIND jobs after 6 months of graduation. They go into residency which is pretty much guaranteed and mandatory. However, doctors finishing their residency cannot find jobs. Learn to read statistics. (Ortho, ENT, Cardiac surgery, neurosurgery, cardiology, GI, etc...ALL have trouble finding jobs!!!)

This is absolutely disgusting. What do you mean steal "Canadian" jobs. To be honest, MD admission in Canada is more of a luck than anything else after you get to a certain GPA and MCAT. People take easy programs to get into medicine too (* I am sure some of you might know a few). People from UK, American or India all deserve to practice mediicne here if they passed the rigorous liscening exams. My family doctor who graduated from U of T is absolutely HORRIBLE compared to my India graduated orthopaedic surgeon. Btw, those docs from other countries have to prove themselves to be BETTER than canadian MDs in order to practice in Canada.

Thank you Lois, you just prove my point!

These specialize doctors probably went into it because they like it instead of looking at the overall money prospect which also includes where the or not there is a demand for that career.

Do not do this.

Do your proper research. See if that career that has high wage potential is actually needed in the future for the region you want to live in. Government of Canada even have data on market trend to assist students with it so use it!

Tell that to my brother who is an investment banker. Works approximately 90-100 hours a week. He has no life but the market although he is paid handsomely for it.

I highly doubt ENT, plastics, ortho are NOT good money making specialities. Same with nephro and cardio. ALL of these specialties are in fact some of the highest paying medical specialties. DO your research. It is hard to predict medical speciality job outlook due to the long residencies and the unpredicability in general. Btw, your signature is absolutely offensive, why should people that dont believe in Jesus burn in hell, your views simply show that you are a troll and lack any real research.

Thanks for the article. I mentioned this in the reply above but the article also made my point for me.

Quote:
Sometimes, as well, the jobs are out there, but might require a new specialist to relocate across the country.
Quote:
Even Dr. Loewen, who wants nothing more than to work in Canada, said he may have to consider relocating to the U.S. soon
If you want a high paying job in a specific region, you need to do your research.

For example: I evaluated my skill set and the only job that pay the most within my skill set is to work at a Call Centers. I would then see if there are actually jobs in Canada before I go into it. Which by the way there isn't, all the Indians stole that jobs.

I would disagree with the Indian part. My personal opinion is that Indian are taking over the world slowly and we need to stop them not give them a hand.

For example, Indian stole Sears IT jobs as of late.

In the end, I would agree that IF there is no possible fulfillment rate within Canada, then we can use immigrants until we train our own. However, we need to adopt US mentality of keeping the job within.

TLDR: Do your research OP. Analyze your own skill set and see which career you can do that will yield the most money. Keep in mind of the demand and supply of the region you want to work/live in.

^ I like that you brought up the point of keeping in mind the demand and supply of the region you want to live in. A lot of people don't realize jobs that they want to be aren't in demand where they want to live.
